To instantly view MEDICAL STATUS from any tab in the patient desktop
The medical status icon is accessible from all of the tabs in the Patient file, providing a quick visual indication of the patient's medical condition and the status of their medical record.
To instantly view MEDICAL HISTORY from any tab in the Patient desktop
Hover your mouse cursor over the medical icon to display a Medical History (tooltip), showing a summary of the patient's current medical status, medical history, and the most recent notes entered:
|
> |
|
When you move your cursor away, the tooltip disappears. You can also click the icon to open the summary on the screen (you will need to click a Close button to close it).
The Medical Status icon can be activated or changed from the bottom right of the Medical tab screen.
Icon states:
|
There is no medical history information recorded for this patient. |
|
The medical history is up to date, and there are no alerts (for infectious diseases or medical conditions). |
|
Medical history up to date, infectious alert. |
|
Medical history up to date, medical condition alert. |
|
Flashing between Yellow and Red indicates that both Infectious and Alert have been set. |
|
Any of the three statuses can also have a note icon attached, which shows the record needs updating. This can be because the medical notes are more than the set number of months overdue, or because someone has ticked the Update Medical History at next opportunity checkbox at the top of the screen. |
